Is it anything to worry about?

[ilovebeardeddragons]

oks o athena always ahs atleast one of her legs streatched out and sometimes she has both streatched all the way back heres some pics so you cna see what i mean
like when shes just sitting there basking shes like this

even when she sleeps she has one leg out

see he leg by her tail its just streached out liek that

so is there anything i should be worried about or is this fine?

I don't think it should be anything to worry about. As long as she's using her leg, as in to support herself, she should be fine.
Spyro often lays with his back legs spread out like the first pic. I used to get worried when he was stood with one or more toes (and sometimes a whole "foot") bent underneath him, but they're just really flexible.

Id keep an eye on her to see if she walks properly. If shes walking fine its just her odd sleeping pattern.

The first picture with her legs "frogged out" behind her seems perfectly normal. Dex does it all the time. I call it her sexy pose. 'You like? These old things?'

 

[beardie parents]

All of the ones I've had always do that when they are relaxing. It's normal

My beardies both lay like that all the time, especially when they're basking or sleeping. It's completely normal. Athena is a very cute little girl!!

Mine both do it too - Kazi gets himself into some really odd twists at times. In fact heres one of Kazi's odd sleeping positions from a couple months back - it just did not look comfortable!!

I'm late here, but Lennon and Razual both do that very often, too.
And they are both capable of running the length of the tank, so I don't think there is anything wrong with their legs. 8)

ya athena can run really fast like the time she ran into the crack inbetween my bed and the wall its a good think my bed isnt heavy

beardies really do get seem to love odd positions i'm sure they do it to keep us on our toes, wiggles recently decided after running round our living room a good place to nap was wedged on top of some books on the book shelf

below is by far the oddest position wiggles has ever chosen to go asleep in and the most worrying for us was when he was a baby

 

[ilovebeardeddragons]

lol hahahah that pic is priceless

 

[wigglesworth]

he slept like that until we removed him because we were worried he might get burnt while sleeping, he wasn't very impressed with us for disturbing him :roll:
